How do I deal with a manager who is more interested in getting her name recognized and building clout with execs, then actually being my manager. I just want help with some basic things (which Iv vocalized I need help with) and clarification on job specific details such as comp/performance tracking. I’m just feeling a bit stuck and nervous to be direct about this with her and wondering if anyone has any advice.

I am working for a client in infosys and the project is in initial stage and the go live is somewhere in January.

Now the thing is this project has lot of toxic people from client team and they play blame games on daily basis.

I am working as a team lead here and want to get deallocated from this project.

Please help me with right approach and save my soul.

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart

Performance review is this week & boss already primed me (trice) abt a time mgmt/prioritization improve plan. I can’t begin to express (but attempt to in comment👇) how wildly out of context this fbk comes considering this flaming 💩 dumpster 🔥 of a workplace situation. Advice: - How do I get through BS mtg w/out hitting mgr w/a R/antiwork-style ✌🏻🖕🏻”bye Felicia”?! Ps. I’m an f’ing adult & welcome fdbk when it’s even mildly in touch w reality.

How do you explain to a interviewer that you are leaving your job because your new boss doesn't treat you well/fairly?

Yet again I’m watching a client fuck up a nice spot so bad I can’t put it in my reel. Absolutely disheartening.

If an employee files a complaint about workplace behavior, do you treat them differently? I'm faced with reporting an SM for bullying and finding it near imposible to believe that it won't (cont'd)

How does one go about resignation in the remote setting?

Should i email my boss then follow up with a call? Or the other way around?

The "confrontation" is really difficult for me lol. I actually like my current boss and she's been helpful and made me feel like she looks out for me too. But the new opportunity is too good to pass up on (huge increase to pay. No concerns on the team since ive worked with those people in the past in a different company)

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

People behave unpleasant

I recently had a specialist partner send me a fairly nasty email after I (a transactional first year) was told to ask them to review something ASAP that had clearly been on my partner’s radar for over a week. Why am I taking the (honestly justified) blame for this? Surely it should be obvious that I’m just the messenger here.

Ways to overcome fear of public speaking? At times I stutter when I introduce myself and am sick of it

Men, what brand/style do you wear for a light jacket? The type you might want to wear if it's high 40s/low 50s in the morning and you're going to the office

Dealing with asshole client who tried to bully me into changing our recommendations, and spineless partner who is back pedaling now given client reaction, despite pre-aligning on our view. People suck

Linguistic question, should an associate say "my partner" when talking to a client about a partner? To me this comes off like implying your also a partner, but saying "our partner" sounds weird too...

Question for the ladies: I'm getting sick of spending so much time getting ready for work. Would it really matter if I tried less (eg wore my hair in a bun everyday, wore less makeup)?

Someone I’ve started seeing uses they/them pronouns. I’m trying my best but still feel like I make mistakes. When I want to address them is it ok to say how are you or should I say how are they?

Had a panic attack at work and had to leave bc I felt like I was going to puke at my desk... I feel like a disappointment to my team, since I couldn’t go to the client site. First bad day in a while):

Where can you buy a good office chair and sit/stand desk near Toronto? Getting them shipped from the US is mad expensive.

Been working freelance for the past year and I've made more money and connections than I did while at my previous agency. This is a life tip for young creatives: you value your own work, don't let anyone else do so.

Anyone at PWC ITS?

Has anyone taken a loan from their 401K for a down payment? Yay or nay on this strategy?

Anyone here retire in late 30s or know someone that has?

Is it common for an SE to need to do analyst-style research for a POV/POC? This research helps guides our team of analysts in configuring the product’s environment for the POC. As an SE, I’m tasked with this research since I’m customer-facing but our analysts are not. Idea being that I can apply knowledge of the customer’s requirements.

I recently had an interview with a very promising pre-IPO company in the AI/ML space for a SE leadership position. The interview feedback was better than I expected, but with a twist. They have already given the offer to someone else, but they still want to bring me on board and they asked me what I would like to do. I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?

Hey all! Looking for an experienced SE for an Enterprise role with a great client of mine (mid-size company), privately held. They are in the Open Source space. Would love your help on this.

Hey everyone I’m a new graduate with a bs in industrial and systems engineering currently looking around for full time opportunities. One role that caught my eye is sales engineering.

Curious what everyone else’s experience has been with refresh RSU grants (ie how many $s in RSUs have you gotten on a yearly basis after your initial new hire grant)

What percentage of your total comp is in RSUs?

Why did you become a Sales Engineer?

I’ll start: Happenstance.

Convo about mentoring came up recently. I suggested on a whim to a SE to find a sales rep mentor to learn about the mind of a sales person. Never tried it and now I am. Has anyone tried this?

SEs, do you have any side hustles for weekends or weeknights?
I'm in a very HCOL area and my 165k TC isn't enough to comfortably buy a million dollar house (which is a 50 y/o SFH that needs TLC on prob a 1200 living sqft).

Wondering if any of you work side gigs during your free time?

Has anyone here transitioned to a software engineer from pre-sales? Verdict?

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
